Happy Saturday!
On May 10th, the PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS WOMEN of CALIFORNIA will be holding their yearly conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. This organization was founded in 1989 by U.S. Congresswoman Jackie Speier. It is dedicated to advancing the professional and personal development of women of all ages and and on all levels. The PBWC provides tools, resources, and a strong business community to encourage women to succeed and contribute at the highest levels in all aspects of various fields, businesses and industries.
I am honored to say that I have just learned one of my fans has spoken to them about ALL of my accomplishments as a Female Athlete who achieved this success while residing in California. As a result, the PBWC wants to include me in their program. How proud and flattered I am at this moment! I’m pretty sure a HORSE has not been part of their program before this!
The conference has 3 different presentations outlined for the day. They are CONNECT, EXPLORE and INSPIRE! My work and achievements have been selected to KICK-OFF the INSPIRE portion of the program. I will be followed in this part of the presentation by Carolyn Johnson from ABC 7 News, International Author, Isabel Allanda, and then America Ferrara, who is an Emmy Award Winning Actress for her role in the series, Ugly Betty.
If you are interested in learning more about PBWC or the conference, here is the link:
I can’t begin to tell you how truly elated I am at receiving this news! INSPIRE!! Wow!

Don’t we wish we could get someone in the White House that has the POSITIVE effect on people that you do. Our country could do with some of your mo-jo. Congrats Z, you have earned this.

Dorothy Hopper
Zenyatta you are so inspiring! How could they not include you in their program? I look forward to the 60 Minutes Special tomorrow, which is how I first learned of you. I only regret that you were not the first female triple crown winner; I have no doubt that you could have won all three races. Perhaps you’re future filly will have that honor. Enjoy your weekend.
Max
Zenyatta, you deserve all of this recognition and more. You are a superb athlete and role model for everyone.
@Donna. Frankel looked like he had a lot left to give in that race. He did not look at all tired at the end. I googled Nijinsky and you are right. Frankel does look exactly like him. They could be twins. I also searched out some information on Nijinsky’s mother. Flaming Page had only 3 foals. Two were the colts, Nijinsky and Minsky, who was the 2 year old Irish champion in 1970. Her filly, Fleur, was the mother of The
Minstrel, who was the English Horse of the Year in 1977. That is an impressive record for a broodmare.

I’m real excited to see you on 60 minutes tommorrow night. we really missed you running on the truck,you are the greatest athlettes in the world my highness queen zenny, long live the queen.
Christine in VA
What an honor
Zen ,you must remember you ARE a woman first, Accomplished, goal driven,positive, and successful. You are not just here to produce a foal you ARE a woman unto yourself. Yes you are of the equine species but a woman no matter what. You should stand tall and be very very proud of what you have accomplished.
Any of you that doubt that Zen knows this because she is not human THINK AGAIN SHE KNOWS.
Nancy
You have certainly inspired your fans during your lifetime, and I’m sure you will continue. We all love and admire you so much.

Hey Zenny. I belong to an organization called American Business Women’s Association. I am at our Spring Conference in Santa Fe New Mexico as I am typing this. You are a role model for all organizations that support the education and advancement of working women :)

Wow, Zenny, that is so awesome! You truly are an inspiration and you soooo deserve this! I can’t wait to see you on 60 Minutes tomorrow night. I can never get enough of you. I love you Queen Z :-)
Brenda
Dear Zenny, Even tho’ I’m not American, but a UK born, Canadian citizen, I support all efforts to have you recognized as an inspiration to females worldwide. You have sure inspired my grand daughter who would love to become the first female trainer of a Kentucky Derby winner and, better yet, winner of the Triple Crown. I’m happy to hear that the weather in Lexington has improved and that you and your girlfriends are enjoying your beautiful surroundings, hopefully I’ll be able to get a glimpse of you when I visit Lane’s End in July. Look out for some treats – pears, bananas, carrots and mints – I’ll be leaving a little gift even though I won’t be able to meet you. Looking forward to the 60 Minutes program tomorrow. Much Love from Brenda and Victoria in Fort Erie.
Amanda Gilliland
My Sweet Lady Zenyatta, I just wanted to have the 1st word. Your stamp is spectacular! I had to sit down and just take it in. Wow! What an honor to be named included in the PBWC! I’m actually speechless! Zenyatta, you are a perfect example of connect, explore & inspire. You have connected with so many people through your racing career on as many levels as there are people. You have caused us to explore what life has to offer as long as we are willing to put forth the effort to achieve it. Look at you with your excellent training what you did achieved! Then you have inspired us all to be better than before. Zenyatta, look at your webpage here and you can read all the inspirations you have given to each of us. Not only have you brought racing to new heights with peaked interest, you have shown us through your actions of love, kindness & thinking of others that our world would be a kinder & more gentler place if we could do what you have shown that works. You are a Horse On A Mission! You just never know what’s around the corner for you next? I love you, Zenyatta. Sending Hugs & Kisses To You From Alabama With Love, AmandaG
CeeSee
You deserve to be included for you have truly inspired many, when a person sees themselves and think it may be impossible,you have shown us, the heart can make dreams possible. By the way, I don’t think you only inspire women, ask the men,you have inspired them also.
Cheryl Smith
So proud of you and glad that you are still being recognized for the inspiration and tru champion that you will always be! Love you!

This one’s for you, Dottie.
Here’s Frankel winning the 2000 Guineas — and for certain it was Bobby bringing him home!

Hugs to you Zenny. May there be a Frankel in your future — even if he is a little younger…..

Hi Zenny, that is very special indeed. Congratulations!! You are an inspiration to all!
I can’t wait for the 60 Minutes update tomorrow!
Have a nice evening, sweet girl.
Love to all,

@Brenda. Good for you and your granddaughter to have this wonderful dream. Lucien Lauren was Canadian as is Ron Turcotte. They did it together with Secretariat. Zenyatta inspires everyone to never give up on a dream. That last race which she ran was perhaps her finest. It showed her to be one of the truly great race horses of all time. Seeing her run that race was one of the great thrills of my life. I cannot forget it.
